Typhoon Maysak made its first landfall near Lingshui on China's Hainan Island on July 3, 2026, then curved back out to sea and made a second, final landfall in Móng Cái, Quảng Ninh province, Vietnam, on July 4, before drifting back into Guangxi as it weakened into a tropical depression.
In Guangxi's Fangcheng district, torrential rain flooded villages with water levels reaching roughly 1.1 meters, stranding residents in their homes. Elsewhere in the region, houses collapsed and rural roads, drinking water systems, and electricity infrastructure were damaged. Nanning, the Guangxi regional capital, raised its flood control emergency response to the highest level after a reservoir breach warning as swollen rivers and reservoirs threatened surrounding communities. In neighboring Guangdong province, authorities evacuated 23,296 people as a precaution, including 10,717 offshore workers and 12,579 residents on land.
Across the border in Vietnam's Quảng Ninh province, the storm tore roofs off roughly 30 houses, damaged about 600 hectares of aquaculture farms, toppled 850 trees, and damaged public infrastructure and vehicles.
Chinese and Vietnamese civil defense authorities are continuing flood-control and relief operations as rivers in Guangxi remain swollen. The American Red Cross is coordinating with Red Cross partners in China and Vietnam on relief support for displaced and flood-affected families, while Global Empowerment Mission is preparing emergency supplies for the hardest-hit communities.
